    Why? That is just a training issue.

    My biggest fear with a 1911 is under pressure not remembering to take the safety off.
    Anyone who carries a 1911 needs to be trained to thumb the safety off during the draw stroke.

    This is the reason I carry a Sig MK25 double/single action.
    The P226 is a good pistol.

    As far as reliable pistols are concerned under any condition the MK25 rates high but probably the Glocks rate the highest.
    All quality striker fired pistols come with built in safetys and/ or manual thumb safetys. If you train with a manual safety, the safety comes off as you draw and the gun is prepared to fire before you get up into an aim position. TRAIN TRAIN TRAIN

    I find strikers no easier to fire accidently, I hate the square butts on 1911s and I dont understand some shooters adoration of them. If I want a 45 it will be a striker fired major brand with a grip thats comfortable for my hand.

    I dislike all squared grips

    Many police officers married with young children, come home lock their no man safety pistols in a safe and keep manual safety handgun for home protection. Both my son in laws and I do that now, me for the grandkids and friends grandkids when they are over.

    When you have kids the added level of man safety is worth the effort, remember you dont have to engage the safety and you can take it off most guns in minutes. I trained my kids to NEVER ever go anywhere near my gun if I happened to leave it laying unattended.

    I am no gun expert, I was trained by experts in the basics. You cannot buy a gun bring it home and say I got a gun my house is protected, you must train and keep on training and retrain for every gun you buy

    No kidding but even those that train make mistakes like that. Every bullet carries a lawyer.
    When Donald Trump said to protest “peacefully”, he meant violence.

    When he told protesters to “go home”, he meant stay for an insurrection.

    And when he told Brad Raffensperger to implement “whatever the correct legal remedy is”, he meant fraud.

    Drop your striker fired pistol and habitually try to catch it. Happened to an officer while on the crapper and fired it.

    Uh do you seriously believe that hammer fired pistols never go off when dropped and officers havent been shot with them ?

    Cops shot themselves in the leg getting out of Patrol cars with holstered 357 mags

    Look any firearm can malfunction, I believe stryker fired is no more unsafe than hammer fired

    Striker fired guns, particularly Glocks are generally safer than hammer fired guns. A Glock has 3 safeties that engage automatically and disengage only when the trigger is pulled. It is almost impossible to get a Glock to fire without pulling the trigger. When GSG9, the German counter terrorist force was looking for a new handgun to replace their Brownings, they safety tested the Glock 17 by loading it with blanks, taking to out into the parking lot and throwing it into the air and letting it fall to hit the pavement. Not once, did the gun fire.
